Rumor: David Byrne & St. Vincent will stop at 80/35

David Byrne & St. Vincent have announced their summer tour dates, including a July 5 stop at the 80/35 Music Festival. It seems like someone might have jumped the gun, since 80/35 isn’t planning on announcing any acts until April.

Register reporter Joe Lawler reached out to Jill Haverkamp with the Des Moines Music Coalition and got this response:

Early bird tickets will go on sale to DMMC members March 29 and to the general public April 1.

Byrne and St. Vincent (real name Annie Clark) released a collaborative album together last summer, “Love This Giant.” In live shows their sets have been consisting of a mix of Talking Heads and Byrne solo material, St. Vincent songs and selections from the new album.

Andrew W. K. to visit Vaudeville Mews

Andrew W.K. will bring his “The Human Party Machine Solo Tour” to the Vaudeville Mews on May 2. This could be Des Moines’ craziest and sweatiest show since Girl Talk played Wooly’s last year. Tickets are $18 in advance and go on sale Friday through Ticketfly.

Here’s a sampling of Andrew W.K.’s oeuvre: “It’s Time to Party,” “Party Til You Puke,” “Long Live the Party” and “I Want to See You Go Wild.”
